Your baby is now ready for walnuts, the wonder brain booster! Walnuts provide a good quality of protein and omega 3 fatty acids to boost brain development.

Together with the protein in paneer, it becomes a really satiating, energy-giving and body-building food. Curds and paneer also impart a rich and creamy mouth-feel to this purée.

Also, ensure that the walnuts are finely powdered, as infants will not like the mouth-feel of coarse walnuts. To achieve this, first blend the walnuts till fine, then add the other ingredients and proceed with the recipe.

Do not be overenthusiastic and make too much of the Walnut and Paneer Purée, as it is a heavy food and your child cannot have more than 2 tablespoons to one-fourth of a cup.
